India’s coronavirus caseload rises to 95,34,965 as 35,551 new cases reported in last 24 hours. With this addition cases took the tally to 9.53 millon.

India’s daily rate has fallen since the south Asian nation reported the world’s highest such tallies through most of August and September, despite a busy festival season last month that experts had warned could trigger a spike in infections.
